Now I am wondering about mellinicom. Heard a lot about them. They promise unimited roaming but fine print limited. We just do it for weather. If we can't do it then we need to lookelse where. We travel in the winter in WY. We need wx reports and road condx. We're sitting in Rawlins, WY at Flying J. Hunkered down between 2 big rigs. Wind about 55 +. we've been good AT&T customers and were totally taken by surprise. Just killed data. Apparently just don't want us as customers any more. Surprised me. We had AT&T for more than 10 years before Altell. Then AT&T took over. They had our past history. Gave us better phones beause of past service. 100mb of data is like nothing when traveling and getting wx reports. In WY, especially in winter we need wx reports and road info. We may have to go back to basic phone service and no smart phone. Maybe Mellinicom for data.
We travel a lot using our Millenicom/Verizon 20GB/mo service, and on the extremely rare occasions we've hit a roaming location, the service kept right on working. When we were in West Virginia and roaming not long ago, we used about 1.5GB of data with no problems, albeit at a reduced speed (mid-range 3G) from our usual 4G service.
